What I don't understand is how Rand Paul, as a Libertarian, could simultaneously maintain his crusade against the petty tyranny of government, while the petty tyranny of his HOA is so dreadful that he feels compelled to completely ignore it. You would think that when a private-sector alternative to government beats up a Libertarian for noncompliance, that could be taken as evidence that less government does not mean less tyranny. In fact, is it possible that Libertarianism is bullshit?

When I was doing my work study job in college they hired a full-time worker to work evenings with me and the other late shift people since students weren't allowed do stuff for student and faculty accounts due to insurance. The guy was a libertarian. For a while he tried to convince me that companies could provide different water from different providers, like electricity, and you could chose a lower quality if you wanted to. I didn't even bother pointing out that this just meant that the poor would get hosed, but I did tell him that they would have to run a parallel piping system for each provider. His response was "no they wouldn't" with no elaboration when pressed. He then got it into his head that since he was a full-time worker that meant he was my boss. I would refuse to do tasks he told me to do because he was, in fact, not my boss and I was not going to do his work for him, or do tasks I was responsible for when he decided instead of when I decided. He got so upset about this that I told him to ask my actual boss whether or not he was my boss. He informed me the next day that he was not my boss and looked dejected. My actual boss and I had a good laugh about it.

The fact that rand paul himself hasn't said anything about it, suggests he knows exactly why he was attacked, and it doesn't make him look good. If it was unprompted, he would be crowing to high heaven about it.

Saying its 'just over grass clippings' is also an understatement. Neighbor disputes can get really ugly, real fast, because neither has the option of just leaving to de-escalate, and there's a part of self-pride and such in protecting your home. Its the principle of the thing. So if rand paul is dumping his trash in his neighbors' plot, it was only a matter of time until he got beat.

probably he was Big Timing his neighbors/HOA for years with some real embarrassing rear end in a top hat behavior he thought he could get away with because he's a senator but doesn't want in the NYT now that it's A Thing more intriguing is that the ~neighbor~ hasn't said anything either. odds are that Rand is either paying him to keep quiet, or, more likely, is promising to go easy on him with the cops/court if he keeps his mouth shut about the why

He probably didn't expect to break 6 of Rand Paul's ribs, but it turns out the libertarian ubermensch is made of cardboard, and the legal system goes by what you did, regardless of what you think it would do (the eggshell principle).

i think rand paul broke his own ribs so that he could suck his own dick because that's what libertarianism is all about then when it didn't work he blamed his neighbor because that's also what libertarianism is all about

Next time Rand Paul sees some homeless people & breaks into a laughing fit (natural libertarian response to human suffering) he will at least suffer immense pain.

https://www.gq.com/story/inside-rand-pauls-neighborhood-fight/amp hell of a lot of fluff but it looks like it really was over Rand Paul getting his lawn clippings on this guy’s property after he had asked him to stop over and over. Also all the other rich people make fun of Rand Paul’s pathetic tiny loser mansion and they all hate him and the neighbor. I am convinced this dude is a plant by his re-election campaign or something: quote:And the man selling hot dogs under a Japanese maple in front of the clinic described Paul, to whom he has delivered pizzas in the past, as an excellent tipper, always good for four or five bucks.

Since the attack, my husband Rand Paul hasn't taken a single breath without painquote:The average person takes 20,000 breaths a day. Since November 3, my husband, Rand Paul, has not taken a single one without pain. He has not had a single night's sleep uninterrupted by long periods of difficult breathing or excruciating coughing.

"Addiction is just my brain's way of intellectually determining what substances are in my rational long-term selfish interests" is official Ayn-Randian dogma to Objectivists. Applies to cigarettes and meth because ol Ayn was hooked on them, not sure if she ever got into opiates but if she did same goes.

I'm going to be honest and say that if someone had asked me "what should Rand Paul's life be like" I probably wouldn't have come up with "every breath should cause him pain". But now that I've heard it, I mean that kinda seems spot on. Kudos, reality.
